Hello and welcome to the Genealogy
Trails website for Fluvanna County Virginia. Our goal is to help
you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical and
historical data and placing it online for the free use of all
researchers. This is a continuation of original and highly
successful Illinois Genealogy Trails, History and Genealogy Project,
and we are excited about this opportunity to expand into other
states. We welcome your feedback and comments, and of course, any
data contributions you might have. If you have data that you
would like posted on this website, please contact me.
We're looking for people who share our dedication to putting data
online and who are interested in helping this project be as successful
as our Illinois websites are. If you think you might be
interested in joining our group, please view our Volunteer
Page for further information and instructions.
If you would like to receive State and County Updates, subscribe to our
Mailing Lists.
You are welcome to browse the information on these pages and the many
links provided, to build data needed to continue your research.
Please remember that this information, in many cases, represents years
of painstaking research by many generous volunteers who have donated
their information to this site. You can show your respect for these
efforts by not taking things to use on other websites, and/or claiming
such as your own. Thank you in advance for your consideration. |

A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION ON FLUVANNA
COUNTY VIRGINIA
..........
|
Fluvanna
County was once part of Henrico County, one of the original shires of
Virginia Colony. In 1727, Henrico was divided and the Fluvanna
County area became part of Goochland County. Goochland was
divided in 1744, and the area now known as Fluvanna became a part of
Albemarle County. Albemarle County was divided, finally, in 1777
and Fluvanna County established.
The County was named for the Fluvanna River, the name given to James
River west of Columbia. Fluvanna means "Annie's River" for Queen
Anne of England. The James and Rivanna Rivers run through
Fluvanna County.
The site of a major Monacan villiage of Native Americans in
pre-colonial times, is at the Point of Fork (where the James &
Rivanna Rivers meet near Columbia). Thomas Jefferson made the
Rivanna River navigable in the late 18th century. Virginia
requested that the river be opened to public usage shortly after the
completion of the efforts by Thomas Jefferson.
